mmmmmbeeer

Crazy that in mid-August we're still having to guess how things line up out of the pen with a 1 or 2 run lead.

Dude is going to be worth a ton when he hits FA given he's carrying a well above average hit tool with the flexibility to play so many positions competently.

Don't need him unless he beats Rodon back from the IL. Keep him away from Tony or our record will suffer.

Likely playoff teams and the order I LEAST want to face them: 1. Astros 2. Yankees 3. Rays 4. A's 5. Red Sox 6. Blue Jays Let's hope NYY get knocked out of the wild card slot.

I mean, there are some teams that are just horrible match-ups. The Yankees are a nightmare for Sox pitching. They're patient as all hell, feast on fastballs with HUGE power, and seem to intimidate the Sox a bit just by being the Yankees. I'm not going to worry until we see us look especially weak against other good teams this month. I put little to no value in looking at our current record against teams over .500 considering the injuries we've had.

I hope Gio can get his slider working today or it's going to be a loooonnnnngggg afternoon. Yankees will be sitting dead red and let the changeups go.

August Abreu about to do some yard work.

Twice he's been robbed on that pitch (last inning to Lamb), and I'm not complaining.

I loooove me some Stone Pony!

Nice play. I like this dude.

Threw my phone after Stanton's dong. Literally yelled at Seby when he didn't let the ball hit his foot on that backfoot slider. Smiled like a mofo when that ball left TA's bat. Rollercoaster.

This is why you don’t leave him sitting dormant in the pen for a week. He’s done this before after a long layoff.

Why?

Was thinking Liam just because he can definitely handle four outs. Not sure if Kimbrel does that these days.

Can only see current AB, AFAIK. Trying to see that Kopech pitch

For the record, I would’ve brought in Liam here to finish this inning and the eighth.

Where can you see pitch locations?

What a b**** move.

Wow. Not used to seeing that kind of emotion from MK. Clutch!

I just don’t get it. The idea of trading Nick was to shorten games.

Out of the baseline? Sure looked like it. Also, why the hell did Lynn start this inning with 94 pitches? Someone should’ve been warm to face the middle of the order after dipshit’s homer.

Ober threw well and had a generous zone. Problem is when he was pulled and we had our chance to pounce, we stuck with bums. As Fathom said, and DJ implied, this game was punted.

I forget who said it but someone on Twitter said Leury is the only guy on MLB who goes into protect mode in an 0-0 count.

Bullshit game, Tony. Just fucking forfeit next time you want to throw one so we can all get 3 hours of our day back.

Weird. YT showed like 95 on the K while DJ said it registered 99 at the park.
